Tacos [takos]

Ingredient

1 lb of your choice of protein ** (meat, chicken, pork, shrimp, hard tofu, veggies).

1 tbsp of spices for marinade adobo (salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, & turmeric)

1 lime- save 2 slices for your tacos.

1/2 tsp of olive oil**

Corn Tortillas (but whatever is available, store bought or hand made). You can double the tortilla. 2-4 tortillas

Garnish:

1 bunch of finely chopped cilantro (in Japan コリアン

ダー),

1/4 cup of finely chopped onions

Optional*

Shredded cheese

Sour cream

Directions

Clean your protein, dry and set aside. Make the marinade by combining 1/2 tsp of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and turmeric. Add the lime juice. Slather that marinade all over your protein. (it is preferred to have the marinade for 4-6 hours, but the besttasting result is leaving it overnight. If you're starving you can cook it right away).

In a pan or skillet add the olive oil. Once it is hot enough, add your protein and cook until done. Remove from direct heat and chop up the protein.

Cook the tortillas in the same pan/skillet to absorb the leftover protein juices. When done, put the tortilla on a serving dish and add your protein (be careful to not add so much because all the meat will fall off when you eat it).

Sprinkle the cilantro and onion garnish. Squeeze lime juice and ENJOY!

Notes: I brought adobo from home, so I gave you a homemade version of it. I literally adobo on all of my food. I recommend you make a lot of it and store it in an airtight container. If you can't find tortillas, substitute it with flour tortillas for burritos, or tortilla chips for nachos. This pairs well with the pico de gallo. If you want you can also have a burrito bowl. You can cook up some black or red kidney canned beans, and or some white rice. For shrimp or seafood, serve with shredded cabbage for garnish.
